Summary

Jon Mackenzie is joined by Josh Williams to explore the role that data has played in Liverpool’s revolution under owners FSG and to think about what the future of the club looks like from a data POV. How much of the success of the last decade doesn’t come without FSG’s purchase of Liverpool? When FSG arrived at the club, what were their intentions with regards using data? Why is Michael Edwards so pivotal of a figure in this history? How will Liverpool use data when appointing a new manager?
